Leaf Peeping 

Destin may not be the first place you think of when you want to see leaves changing, but you can actually see gorgeous fall foliage here! Immerse yourself in the beauty by hiking through one of the best local leaf peeping areas- Topsail Hill Preserve. For even better views, head a little bit north to hike. Don't feel like exercising? Take a drive and admire the leaves from the comfort of your car!
